Ingredients You’ll Need
Getting the ingredients right is the secret to making the magic happen. Each component plays its own special role—from the creamy, luscious filling to the crispy, buttery coating that crisps up beautifully in the oven.
- Low-Carb Tortillas: These small street-taco size tortillas form the perfect base to roll and crisp up nicely while keeping carbs low.
- Cream Cheese: Softened for easy mixing, it creates a smooth, tangy filling that balances the cinnamon’s sweetness.
- Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute: Adds that delicate, powdered sugar-like sweetness without kicking you out of ketosis.
- Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute: Gives a bit of texture and extra sweetness to the topping layer.
- Cinnamon: Divided into two portions, it infuses the roll ups with that warm, spicy aroma and irresistible flavor.
- Butter (melted): Brushed on top to ensure a rich, golden, crispy crust that’s truly mouthwatering.
How to Make Keto Crispy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
Start by combining the softened cream cheese with the Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Whip it together until it’s perfectly smooth, creamy, and ready to spread—the filling is the heart of these roll ups!
Step 2: Spread the Mixture Over the Tortillas
Grab each low-carb tortilla and spread a generous, even layer of the cinnamon cream cheese all the way across the surface. This ensures every bite has that luscious, creamy flavor.
Step 3: Add the Sweet Cinnamon Topping
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon along with the granulated Swerve sugar substitute on top of each tortilla. This adds a delightful texture and extra pop of spice that crisps up during baking.
Step 4: Roll Them Up Tightly
Carefully roll each tortilla as tight as you can, tucking the edges so the filling stays inside. Then place each roll seam side down on your baking tray—this helps keep them perfectly intact while baking.
Step 5: Brush with Butter
Don’t skip this step! Brush melted butter over the tops of your roll ups—this makes sure they turn golden brown, crisp up nicely, and delivers that irresistible buttery flavor.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Pop your roll ups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes until they’re beautifully golden and crispy on the outside. The wait is worth it!
How to Serve Keto Crispy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe
Garnishes
This recipe shines on its own, but adding a dusting of extra cinnamon or a sprinkle of chopped nuts can take it over the top. A light drizzle of sugar-free chocolate or a dollop of whipped cream adds even more decadence.
Side Dishes
For a complete breakfast or snack spread, pair these roll ups with a fresh handful of berries, a keto-friendly latte, or even a crisp green salad for contrast. They also work wonderfully alongside scrambled eggs or bacon for those hearty mornings.
Creative Ways to Present
Serve your roll ups stacked high on a pretty plate or arranged in a circular pattern with a small bowl of sugar-free syrup or cream cheese dip in the center. You can slice them into bite-sized pieces to create fun finger foods for gatherings or brunches—everyone will be asking for your secret!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (though these tend to disappear fast), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep their flavor and texture for up to 3 days, making for a perfect grab-and-go snack.
Freezing
You can freeze the roll ups before baking by wrapping each tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to enjoy, just bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
Reheating
Reheat your roll ups in the oven or toaster oven to bring back that irresistible crispiness. Avoid the microwave if possible, as it tends to make them soft rather than crunchy—just 5 to 7 minutes at 350°F will do the trick.
FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of Swerve sugar substitutes?
While you can substitute regular sugar, it will increase the carb count and can affect ketosis. Using Swerve keeps this recipe keto-friendly and just as delicious.
What if I don’t have low-carb tortillas?
Low-carb tortillas help maintain the keto aspect, but if you can’t find them, you might try using thin cheese wraps or make your own homemade low-carb wrap to keep things in check.
Can these roll ups be made dairy-free?
Replacing cream cheese with a dairy-free spread might work, but the texture and flavor won’t be quite the same since cream cheese is key for that creamy filling and moisture balance.
Is it possible to make these roll ups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the roll ups and keep them refrigerated until ready to bake, or freeze them for later. Just be sure to bake them fresh for the best texture.
How crunchy do these roll ups get after baking?
They develop a wonderful crispy, golden-brown crust from the butter and cinnamon-sugar topping, contrasted by the creamy, soft inside—creating a perfect texture balance.
Final Thoughts
There really is something so comforting about the warm, sweet cinnamon paired with that creamy, dreamy cream cheese filling baked to crispy perfection. The Keto Crispy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe has become one of my absolute favorites for a reason: it’s quick, easy, and fits perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle without skipping out on flavor or indulgence. Give these a try—you might just find your new go-to treat!
